G. c. commissarisi Gardner, 1962 — S Mexico (from Veracruz and Michoacan ) through Central America to E Panama ; possibly into W Colombia . G. c. bakeri Webster & J. K. Jones, 1987 — Colombia , WC Guyana , Amazonian Ecuador , Peru , and W Brazil . G. c. hespera Webster &J. K. Jones, 1982 — W Mexico from Sinaloa to at least Colima . The species shows disjunct distribution with distributions ofthe three subspecies apparently not overlapping. Nevertheless, accurate identification ofthis species is a difficult task, and actual distribution could be different from what is known.	Head-body 42-61 mm, tail 4-11 mm, ear 11-16 mm, hindfoot 8-12 mm,forearm 32-35 mm; weight 8-11 g. Females tend to bejust slightly larger than males. Commissaris’s L.ong-tongued Bat is the smallest species of Glossophaga . Dorsal fur is cinnamon-brown to fuscous; ventralfur is brownish. It has moderately elongated rostrum and tongue that permits it to reach nearly 4 cm into flower calyces. Dental formula of all species of Glossophagais12/2,C1/1,P 2/3, M 3/3 ( x2 ) = 34; there are small gaps among somewhat reduced lowerincisors. Because species of Glossophaga differ mainly in minute dental features that are notoriously difficult to see in live animals,it is extremely easy to misidentify sympatric speciesin the field. Nevertheless, when sympatric with any other species of long-tongued bat, Commissaris’s Long-tongued Bat is always smaller. The three subspecies also differ in cranial and dental characteristics, pelage color, and size. Chromosomal complementof all species of Glossophaga has 2n = 32 and FN = 60.	Wide variety of tropical and subtropical habitats, ranging from dry forests to evergreen rainforests, pine forests, and cloud forests, both under pristine and disturbed situations, from sea level up to ¢. 2000 m . Most individuals have been mistnetted across streams, creeks, and trails in forests or around fruit groves.	Commissaris’s Long-tongued Bats are primarily nectarivorous but also eat somefruits and insects. In north-eastern Costa Rica , they consumed nectar from 16 different plant species throughout the year and also fed on fruits when nectar was seasonally scarce. While some of these fruits (e.g. Piper auritum , Piperaceae and Cecropia insignis, Urticaceae ) were abundant throughoutthe year, some were only temporarily available (e.g. Vismia panamensis , Hypericaceae ). This species might opportunistically visit flowers that are not coevolved with bats, such as wind-pollinated flowers of Cecropia spp. where they apparently eat the rather abundant pollen. Compared to sympatric species, it seems to prefer flowers that are locally abundant or produce a lot of nectar, thus offering a high nectar density that permits efficient foraging with limited movement. .	Reproductive pattern is bimodal in at least part of its distribution, with females in north-eastern Costa Rica found to reproduce repeatedly in consecutive reproductive periods. There are two peaks in births: January-April and July-November. Testes of males change in size during the year, reaching maximum size around start of the two lactating periods, corresponding to a postpartum estrus pattern. .	Commissaris’s Long-tongued Bats are strictly nocturnal, leaving roosts after full darkness, and are most frequently collected before 21:00 h. They are known to roost in caves, culverts, houses, and hollow trees.	Commissaris’s Long-tongued Bats often roost in groups ofless than ten individuals but can form aggregations of at least 40 individuals. They seem to adapt home range size and nocturnalflight time to local resource density; i.e. individuals have larger home ranges and longerflight durations in areas with low resource levels.	Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. Commissaris’s Long-tongued Bat seems to be rather flexible in foraging and roosting habits and seems to tolerate severely degraded habitats. .

This bat occurs in a wide variety of tropical and subtropical habitats, including savanna, secondary riparian growth, xeric thorn forests, pine-oak forests, and both pristine and disturbed deciduous and evergreen rain and cloud forest, and clearings (Webster and Jones 1993). It roosts in hollow trees, caves, and tunnels (Reid 2009). In Mexico, most of the known records come from streams inside mature forests (Ceballos and Oliva 2005). The diet includes nectar and pollen of bananas and Mucuna , fruit of Acnistes , and moths (Howell and Burch 1974). Birth peaks have been recorded January to April and July to August (Webster and Jones 1993).	There are no threats for this species.	It is common in most of its range in rainforests of Mexico (Ceballos and Oliva 2005), but less common in dry forest (Reid 2009). In rainforests often it is more numerous than G. soricina . In South America the species seems to be rare; in Ecuador it is known from just one record (Tirira pers. comm.).	Stable	This species is known from Sinaloa (Mexico) to Panama, southeastern Colombia, Guyana, eastern Ecuador, eastern Peru, and northwestern Brazil (Simmons 2005, Griffiths and Gardner 2008). It occurs from lowlands to 2,400 m (Reid 2009).		Terrestrial	This species is found in protected areas.	Neotropical		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N. B., & Cirranello, A. L. (2023).
